+ - Partial FFI support in GHCi. At the moment, foreign import (both
+ static and dynamic) is supported on x86 and sparc platforms.
+
+ - A compacting garbage collector, to try and reduce space use.
+
+ - Ability to disconnect built-in numeric syntax from the supplied
+ Prelude. This allows you to define your own arithmetic packages,
+ which Haskell98 doesn't quite support.
+
+ - Experimental: partial support for hierarchical module names.
+
+ - Experimental: following heroic hacking by Ken Shan, 5.02 now
+ works on Alpha (Tru64 only). Many 64-bit bugs have been shaken
+ out. At the moment only the batch-mode compiler works -- no GHCi
+ or native code generator yet.
+
+We've found and fixed more bugs than you could possibly imagine. A
+big thank-you to all those who reported bugs in the 5.00.X series. We
+claim to have fixed almost all reported bugs. In general we've spent
+a large amount of effort trying to improve the stability of the
+system relative to 5.00.X. (Famous last words ...)
